OPINION – One would always wonder as to why others are called sons of Devil. It is because they never wish peace and good health to their leaders and neighbors. This is a curse!

On 12th of November-2020, enemies of peace sneaked outside with gross accusations framed and took them to social media and other fake news outlets with intention of destabilizing South Sudanese once again, and to deviate the attention of our beloved communities from enjoying the fruits of the Revitalized Peace Agreement on the Resolutions of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan and especially, after realizing South Sudanese are coming together to unite and rebuild the nation as days of the National Conference of the National Dialogue which aims to heal the wounds are counting to an end.

These freelancers and enemies of the nation launched series of unfounded and baseless accusations including the recent allegation titled “Corruption: Ex-Finance Minister’s teeth broken during the fist fight in Dubai with Businessman Mr. Kur Ajing over stolen crude oil money” which has been trending on many outlets.

Dear South Sudanese and readers of this article, please allow me to bring into your good attention some of these enemies’ desires, intentions after having gone over their baseless accusations.

The enemies of this unfounded accusations, devised ill project and earnestly dream with the following cheap aims to achieve:

Firstly; Disunity Among South Sudanese.

With the accumulated illusion on their heads that South Sudanese see themselves as different tribes and thus, can easily be exploited by means of creating unnecessary events on Social Media to deviate their attention from national agenda and issues of the prime interest that would contribute to development of the country.

They believe that by dragging South Sudanese into dirty affairs of hating each other, make them realize the objective of Disunity among South Sudanese and hence, hold all of us hostages.

Secondly; Tarnishing the good reputation of our able leadership under H.E Gen Salva Kiir Mayardit, the President of the Republic of South Sudan.

These enemies in their understanding of government, is for them to be holding positions in this current Revitalized Transitional Government of Nationality Unity (R-TGoNU).

They dream by naming dignitaries such as Ambassador of Peace Hon. Tut Gatluak Maniime, the National Security Affairs Advisor and other competent nationalists as people of no great significance in the nation-building and that, this would make them penetrate and rise to the top leadership of the country without waiting for the elections.

Thirdly; Continuously destabilizing the process and implementation of signed peace agreement in the country.

These enemies of peace resort to and by destabilizing the peace agreement through means of fabricating baseless accusations and other lies.

Fourthly; Encouraging wrong means of acquiring wealth.

The only depiction on their heads is wrong means of getting rich by accusing Businessman Mr. Kur Ajing and on how to advance as well as installing their sick doctrines of encouraging young ones to grow with knowledge of embezzling public funds.

Dear South Sudanese and readers of the article!

Honestly, H.E Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit, the President of the Republic of South Sudan is a peace-loving leader and will always look for peace to prevail among us, despite all these always- baseless allegations labeled and linked to his personality.

These enemies of peace and progress lack authentic information about official visit of the High-Level Delegation to United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi as seen after they resorted to tarnishing the good reputation of the leaders by using engineered propaganda and baseless accusations as tools.

It is very clear that the high-level delegation led by Ambassador of Peace, Hon. Tut Gatluak Maniime to United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi discussed number of developmental issues which include the economic recovery of South Sudan and Sudan Peace Process.

Hon.Tut Gatluak Maniime, who is the chief mediator of the Sudan Peace Process took along with him the Sudanese Revolutionaries leaders who are signatories to Juba Peace Agreement to attend the meetings on Sudan Peace Process and its implementation with AUE authorities.

The purpose of the visit to Abu Dhabi, UAE by our able delegation includes cooperation agreement of investment between UAE and South Sudan to help the economic recover and boost the investment opportunities and the Sudan Peace process in which United Arab Emirates is the partner supporting the implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement.

Hon. Tut Gatluak Maniime, the National Security Affairs Advisor and Chief Mediator of Juba Peace Agreement was also accompanied by the governors of the producing states comprised of Hon. Luise Lobong  Lojore of Eastern Equatoria, Hon. Joshua Konyi of Greater Pibor Administrative Area and Hon.  Dr. Joseph Monytuil of Unity to attend the investment cooperation between South Sudan and United Arab Emirates and on how best the economy of South Sudan could be revived by shifting to other natural resources such as minerals, tourism and wildlife resources than depending on oil revenues.

Hon. Tut Gatluak Maniime is a true Ambassador of Peace given the fact that all of us, witness his abilities to fully and successfully accomplish what is assigned to him without single doubt in history of both the Republic of Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan, sisterly countries.

While, Mr. Kur Ajing is a renown philanthropist and a businessman, his efforts to South Sudan are countless and does not position himself to fight as alleged by enemies of progress, who opt to feel jealous often.

It is also a pure lie that Mr. Kur Ajing had fought with Former Minister of Finance, Hon. Garang Mabiordit who is now at peace in his residence in Juba, this is not true.

However, denying and underestimating the contributions of our great leaders who are tirelessly and humbly serving and fully remain committed to end the suffering of South Sudanese as shown by the enemies of peace and development through making of lies and with unfounded, groundless accusations are not good characters of mankind, but devilish.

Dear South Sudanese!

This cheap and groundless accusation orchestrated by enemies of peace against the leaders should not pull us back from implementing this Revitalized Peace Agreement which is the shared responsibility of every citizen in this country and our unity as one force.

With our shared struggles, we are bound to protect this Motherland, the Republic of South Sudan from the enemies sponsored with foreign funds and with ultra-objectives of returning us to wars.

    Tut Gatluak is the focus if this opinion piece. Please forgive my ignorance, I live out of the country and I Could you please direct me to or publish a biography of this prominent citizen. Showing his no doubt many accomplishments. Sing his praises as he progresses through the South Sudanese electoral process to his now prestigious ministerial position. I am sure that other people would enjoy a better understanding of his background in helping South Sudan into the enviable place it now holds with few other countries of the world.
